OUR concern (novabus) is the way STM workers , work on our buses. Of course they do all the maintenance on the bus, what we found out was frightning. STM mechanics removed a cover from a hose that WOULD have prevented it from splashing on the exhaust (turbo / exhaust lines) if it broke. Well here my friends is the result of that cover being removed from that hose. They removed it to make their job easier on maintaining the buses. We often here about Novabus being the bad guy, thats because the STM is fast on jumping on TV to cover their asses. I hear theres a rumor of STM looking for buses on contract maybe... that would cause a lot less crying of the STM mechanics... since they'll be out of a job! lol Novabus is doing a great job with these buses.

Was it one of the first generation unreliable ones or a more recent version? The STM bus numbering code that is visible on the outside of the bus is XX-YYY. The XX is the year and the YYY is a sequence code. The most recent buses are numbered 28-YYY which means they have been built (or delivered) in 2008. The oldest low floor buses are 17-YYY which means they were delivered in 1997. Does anyone know which year this low floor bus was built?
